The photograph in "Tropic Gear" shows 6 mess and was taken whilst in Gib (around 1981/2), I can only recall a few shipmates: Top row on the left was "Mac" McCann. Middle row 3rd left A/B (S) Steve Pearson, 4th is me A/B (S) Martin Calvert and far right is 'Tiff' Cope Front row 3rd from right I think is WEM Kite and 3rd from left is LWEM Underwood.
